Date Issued:2014-06-30

Abstract

This travel sponsorship funded two people to attend the Australasia Pacific Extension Network Conference in Christchurch, New Zealand. The purpose of the representation at the conference was to tell the “All for one and one for all: the story of "Harcourt" and the Dawson Valley Cotton Growers”, which explored the aftermath of the 2010/11 floods and how the Dawson Valley cotton grower community responded in a proactive way by using the industry’s voluntary Best Management Practice (myBMP) program, and support from incentive funding provided by the Fitzroy Basin Association, CRDC and the Australian Government. Cotton growers Mike and Debbie Austin share their own personal story as an example.
